help with echoing image

[toolman]

Hi,

 

I am trying to echo an image from a variable.

 

I have tried both of these, but cannot get it to work:

 

$head_img = "img1.jpg";
$head = isset($_GET['text']) ? $_GET['text'] : "<img src='$head_img' />"; 

 

and also

 

$head_img = array ("img1.jpg");
$head = isset($_GET['text']) ? $_GET['text'] : "<img src="'$head_img'" />"; 

 

Can someone help point out what I have wrong?

 

Thanks!

$head_img = "img1.jpg";
echo "<img src='".$head_img."' />"; 

 

try that

Thanks, but that didn't work.

 

I actually need the image to be in the $head =  line

 

$head = isset($_GET['text']) ? $_GET['text'] : "<img src="'$head_img'" />";

Give me more code so I can understand what you are trying to print and how? Or what exactly are you trying to do here? I just told you how to echo it with HTML.

 

But if you didn't try it this was what I was having you check, I assume u tried changing just this

'$head_img'

to this:

.$head_img.

Try it if you haven't already. Not sure if that will work, but it might.

 

Anyways for S&G's try this too:

$head_img = "img1.jpg";
$head_img = "<img src='".$head_img.". />";
$head = isset($_GET['text']) ? $_GET['text'] : $head_img;

This WILL work, and is just a slight modification to your original code:

 

$head_img = "img1.jpg";
$head = isset($_GET['text']) ? $_GET['text'] : "<img src='".$head_img."' />";

If it doesn't work, then you need to post the error message you receive, or the result.

Yeah that's what I meant by this

'$head_img'

to this:

.$head_img.

Try it if you haven't already. Not sure if that will work, but it might.

... I didn't initially mean to change it to echo... but was an example... so try that as the code he has verbatim above if you haven't
